PALMOILMAGAZINE, JAMBI – The price of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) of oil palm in Jambi Province slightly weakened during the period of October 10–16, 2025. According to the official decision from the Jambi Provincial FFB Price Determination Team, the FFB price for trees aged 10–20 years decreased by IDR11 per kilogram, bringing it to IDR3,648.47 per kilogram.
Despite the decline, this week’s price movement remains relatively stable, reflecting a stagnant market trend. Local oil palm farmers in Jambi hope the slight drop will not persist next week, considering that global crude palm oil (CPO) prices remain volatile.
For derivative products, the CPO price in Jambi was set at IDR14,379.01 per kilogram, while the palm kernel price stood at IDR13,525.22 per kilogram. The K index used in the calculation was 94.52%.

- 5 years: IDR3,179.16/kg

- 8 years: IDR3,467.97/kg

- 10–20 years: IDR3,648.47/kg
- 21–24 years: IDR3,541.50/kg
- 25 years: IDR3,384.17/kg
Industry observers noted that the slight dip was influenced by slower international demand and fluctuating CPO prices on the Malaysian exchange. However, market players consider the situation to be within a normal range and expect prices to recover as export activity picks up.
“In general, palm oil prices in Jambi remain relatively stable. We hope to see an upward correction next week,” said a palm oil business operator in Muaro Jambi Regency. (P3)
